Hmmm…  yeah, looks like this was committed in January 2014

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=guile.git;a=commit;h=7a329029cf898fc0b9b24252c9bb437e1ad0b1d7

and I can’t tell whether it will make it into the 2.0 release series or not.  
In any case it will be nice to get to 2.2 since it will have a faster 
interpreter.  Although you’re right that the compilation times will be much 
slower.

Yes, these were very nice simplifications, and without requiring any trade offs.

Thanks again for all your work,
